This is the Blood Red podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello and welcome along to this week's Liverpool.com podcast. I'm your host, Matt Addison. Tom Beattie is with me again as Liverpool close in on the Premier League title.

We're going to get stuck into a few different bits across the

course of the season that have led to that point. Liverpool, just a point away, of course,

from confirming themselves as Premier League champions. We're going to have a little bit of a chat

about the celebrations and the Arsenal Crystal Palace game as well, which obviously worked out

in a quite nice way for Liverpool, I think, in the end.

But Tom, let's get straight to it.

I'm sure, like me, you were watching the Arsenal against Crystal Palace match.

We just discussed it a little bit before we pressed record on this show.

But it was a slightly more stressful ending than I was expecting, to be honest. I thought Arsenal would

win. Virgil Van Dyke said a few days ago that he thought Arsenal would win as well. I think

most people thought that. But Crystal Palace gave them a little bit of a scare, but as we were saying it,

it feels like the perfect result almost for the Liverpool.

They only need a point now, of course, but they get to celebrate it on their own terms as well.

But were you cheering on Arsenal last night as well?

Yeah, it was an odd sensation because obviously sadly in our light times,

we haven't had this many times, have we, the Liverpooler on the verge of winning a lead title.
